Benjamin Hancock Jr. and his wife Elizabeth Vickery were my 3rd Great Grandparents. They lived and died in Wayne Co., KY. Elizabeth was the daughter of Francis Marion and Mary (Broyles) Vickery. The Vickery family also lived in Wayne County, KY. Francis Vickery b. abt 1765, md 22 Sept 1787 Randolph County, NC to Mary Briles, dt. of Michael and Susannah Broiles.

Francis Marion Vickery was the son of John and Bethiah Vickery. John was a Rev. War Solider. He did his service in North Carolina. They lived in Randolph County, NC.

A question has arisen about the name of John Vickery's wife. So far nothing factual has come to me to document that Bethiah was or was not John's wife. One researcher writes that she thinks John Vickrey's first wife was Margaret Jenkins, but she provided nothing but hearsay to back up her claim. If you have facts to document the wife of John Vickery, please let me know. Some of the records that I have are second-handed on John Vickery so I am very willing to listen to anything factual on this issue.
